Scrolling Combat Text (Request)

In Development WoW: Forever Beta Discussion
1

Any chance we could some of the scrolling combat text restrictions lifted for Forever so we can actually modify this part of the UI? Alternatively, if you don’t want to touch the API, can you build out some additional functionality via the Edit Mode?

Right now, the scrolling combat text is appearing behind nameplates making it annoyingly difficult to see my juicy damage numbers. At a minimum, I’d like to be assign the location of my scrolling combat text to a fixed position on the screen.

Some other functionality via edit mode that would be useful are things like: Changing the font, modifying the scroll speed, showing the spell icon beside the numbers, and combining numbers for simultaneously hits (Windfury/Sword Spec Procs, Consecrate Ticks on multiple mobs, etc.).

TLDR: I am desperately missing MSBT. Tweak the API to allow customization of SCT or build out some options via Edit Mode.

+1 Blizzard please let us reskin and move the position of floating combat text.

It exists but is only half working because it’s hard to read a combat log full of random last names on mobs that change every hit.

I found a similar issue with not being able to setup a proper weak aura for distance on my hunter. Everything works great up until 3 yards and it will not tell me if I am in Mele or not.. :weary_face:

1000x this. The default yellow text is so awful when you play tank, especially prot pally. There is just so much information and you can’t really filter it into a readable format with default UI.
